Bring a Trailer Whatzit – #55

The Coy’s of Kensington auction house in the UK has reached out to BaT because they have consigned this special-bodied roadster and are looking for additional history and information. Check out their four photos below and the following:

“It’s a steel-bodied special based on a 1958 100/6, we think it’s called a California, and we think it was bodied in the 1960s in the U.S. According to the previous owner the car was discovered a few years ago in a back yard of a house on the Amtrack line to LAX, sitting next to a Triumph TR4.”

What is this car? Who made the steel coachwork? Is it one of a kind or were several made?
